Did you watch the Oscars last night? The glitz and glamour of the biggest awards show of the year is the talk of the water coolers everywhere today. The internet is buzzing with analyses of best and worst dressed choices, favorites and flops from the red carpet.
We here at CME noticed a trend of gowns on the red carpet: embroidery! Several nominees and guests wore gorgeous, intricately embroidered pieces, such as Sandra Bullock, Jessica Chastain and Giuliana Rancic.
Sandra Bullock starred in “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close,” which was nominated for Best Picture, and wore a beautiful black and white Marchesa gown with leafy embroidery on the shoulders and around the hips.
Jessica Chastain was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “The Help” and wowed in a black Alexander McQueen dress embroidered with intricate gold filigree.
Giuliana Rancic, host of E! News, wore a gorgeous, form-fitting Tony Ward white dress with feathery white embroidery adorning the sides from the shoulder to the knee.
Nancy O’Dell, Sherri Shepherd and Celia Hart also wore embroidery-adorned gowns.
The embroidery ranged from feathery to flower to lacey, but they were all amazing! See photos from the night here. What were your favorite looks from the red carpet?
I just love all of these detailed embroidered dresses. I also would love to know how
all of these were made.
Is there a way in each magazine for the year, that you do an article on these, including the designer; offering some of these designs to the public?
I’m sure they all have these fancy 10-16 needle machines, but a home designer could
somehow split a design to get the same effect. Please???
